“A lot of the rich have just left. London in the last 12 months has lost around 12,000 multimillionaires. That has an enormous impact,” he told “America’s Newsroom.”<\/p>\n
CUOMO CALLS NYC MAYORAL RIVAL ‘DANGEROUS,’ WARNS SOCIALISM WOULD BE ‘DEATH KNELL’ FOR CITY<\/a><\/p>\n Democratic nominee for mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks to reporters outside the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building in New York on Aug. 7. (Lev Radin\/Pacific Press\/LightRocket via Getty Images)<\/p>\n Because the United Kingdom has only one tax jurisdiction, Murray \u2014 author of “The War on the West” \u2014 said such policies have driven many wealthy Londoners out not only of the city, but of the country altogether.<\/p>\n “Some of the left are now saying in London, \u2018Well, good riddance to them\u2019\u2026 [but] they’ll soon start to pay the price for that,” he continued.<\/p>\n Murray’s comments highlighted a glaring Washington Post op-ed earlier this week warning New Yorkers of London\u2019s “sad decline” under Mayor Sadiq Khan<\/p>\n Murray added that wealthy New Yorkers would find it easier to relocate within the U.S., particularly to lower-tax states such as Florida.<\/p>\n “Mamdani and Co. \u2026 they like this idea of sort of punishing the rich, punishing the well-off. But\u2026 New Yorkers will discover what that actually means. London’s already discovering it,” Murray said.<\/p>\n WASHINGTON POST BLASTS MAMDANI’S FREE BUS PROPOSAL, WARNS IT WOULD ATTRACT \u2018VAGRANTS AND DRUG ADDICTS’<\/a><\/p>\n Supporters of New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani gather outside LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City on Oct. 22. (Fox News Digital\/Deirdre Heavey)<\/p>\n His warning comes less than a week before the New York City mayoral election<\/a>, where Mamdani, the Democratic candidate, will face off against independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.<\/p>\n Murray also warned against Mamdani’s public transportation proposal for “free buses” and his stance on law enforcement, particularly after a resurfaced clip from a 2023 socialist conference went viral. The video shows Mamdani saying, “We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it\u2019s been laced by the IDF.”<\/p>\n Mamdani addressed the latter issue during a gaggle in Hell’s Kitchen Tuesday.<\/p>\n “You know, I’ve said time and again that with public safety, I’m looking forward to working with police officers<\/a> here in New York City to deliver it,” Mamdani said.<\/p>\n “I’m looking forward to ensuring that we actually tackle the retention crisis at hand, where we now have about 350 officers leaving the department every month. And that is something we will bring to an end by ensuring that police officers are only asked to do the work of a police department, not the work of social services, as they have.”<\/p>\n Mamdani has also insisted that his tax policies will benefit everyone involved, even those being taxed at a higher percentage.<\/p>\n![\"New](\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1200\/675\/zohran-mamdani-grocery-stores-cnn.jpg?ve=1&tl=1\")
